Did you know that we give our giant sea bass freshwater baths? This keeps them free of “flukes”—small animals that adhere to the fish like ticks on a dog. The baths also allow us to measure and weigh the fish, and assess their health. Since the last check in November 2010, one bass in our Kelp Forest gained 5.3 pounds and 2.4 inches in length, and is now 45 pounds and 37 inches!
